This place is one of my new favorite spots! It doesn't get much better than Wooly's!…read more I've been here a number of times since moving to Johnstown, and every time I swear it just gets better! This is the place where everyone knows everyone. It's friendly and the staff knows you by name and knows your order before you even sit down. The food: Admittedly, they have a relatively small menu, however they picked one menu item and mastered it: Burgers. On the menu they have the Wooly Burger (highly recommended!), the Hot Scottsman, Hobby Horse, the Irishman, as well as featured special burgers like the sundowner and Guinness burger. They also have fries, loaded fries, homemade potato chips, and tacos. Truly you can't go wrong with a burger and order of homemade chips. Wooly's won best burger award for a reason!! Wooly's also has ample seating in the back for patrons who prefer to sit at a table as well as a billiards table. My significant other and I will often hit up Wooly's during the week for a burger and a couple rounds of billiards. Whether your from out of town or a local, the staff at Woolys will make you feel just like family!

Hands down the best burgers I have ever eaten and they are HUGE! I can only ever tackle half of the…read moreburgers, but they are so delicious it is hard to stop. The fries and chips are both fresh cut and you can taste the freshness, absolutely delicious - but don't forget to try them with the Wooly sauce! The soups are also amazing, the Irish Stu and Potato soup are a must try and will not disappoint. The atmosphere of the pub is very warm and inviting, with friendly staff. Wooly's is a must stop for Johnstown!

We ate in the basement level, by the bar. Feels something like a colonial or British pub. Small…read moreroom, rustic. 20 table seats in the downstairs portion with room at the bar for 9 more. Stone walls. Exposed wood and burlap ceiling. - Honey whipped goat cheese: this is good. Warm piece of crispy baguette. The tomato confit side goes well with it. - The scotch eggs are fantastic. Crispy outside, nice eggs within. Excellent with a little bit of Frank's. The dijonaise with it works well, gives almost a deviled egg vibe. - The fish and chips sandwich is fantastic. Large portion: Two of us could have split it and still walked away full. Battered. This one is cooked perfectly. The sandwich sandwich roll is crippled and lovely. The tartar sauce is subtle and dead-on. This is exactly what I want from a fish sandwich. - The french fries that came with the fish and chips are nicely cooked, medium cut. Crispy potatoey and perfect. These are crowdpleasers - everyone at our table liked them. Could possibly be worth a trip in and of themselves.

Great vibe in this place and you feel it right when you walk in - super quaint, like stepping into…read morea nice Scottish/British gastro-pub. It's a bit confusing at first - you don't enter from the "front" of the house; rather, you head around to the back, just off the small parking lot under the balcony. You enter directly into the lovely stone walled bar area that has a decent number of dining tables. There's an upstairs that looks quite different. We - far & away - preferred the downstairs. Much better ambiance. The place was already humming at 5pm! We took the last open table (we had a reservation). Our server came to the table pretty quickly to welcome us, put down menus, and let us know that their draft beer system was on the fritz (what?!) - had been since the day prior. Ack! But they had a really good brown ale in cans from nearby Hazel Grove Brewing, which we had been wanting to try anyway. We ordered our meal pretty soon after, as the place got even busier. But that's when things got a bit harrier. The wait staff got more & more overwhelmed, and the kitchen was overwhelmed, too, clearly as it took 40+ mins for our appetizer to come. But it was good. The goat cheese toast w/ yummy homemade tomato jam. The sliced French bread it was on could've been toasted more - for sure - but the flavors all played really well together. Another 40 mins later, we got our meals, which was fine - we were enjoying each others' company. But we couldn't get our waters refilled to save our lives, & it took forever to get another round of beers. People at other tables were getting restless waiting, too. Three of the 4 of us ordered fish & chips for dinner. The fish was huge - beer battered haddock. The tartar sauce - homemade- was mild and flavorful. The hand cut fries were good, but my sisters-in-law substituted with sweet potato fries - and those were *really* good. My hubs got the bangers & mash which he said "wasn't bad." The peas were fresh and good, and he really liked the mashed potatoes, but sausage was just "meh," he said. No one came to clear our table as people finished their dishes. The 1st beer glasses sat on the table, as did our appetizer dish. As a group, we ordered bread pudding to share for dessert. To my shock, the server was actually going to cram it onto our table with ALL the dirty dinner/appetizer dishes still there! I said, "No no. We need to have these taken away." We started stacking dishes for him to remove. I mean, yuck! We were trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt on some of the other stuff - he was totally crushed under an avalanche of customers - but that was a bridge too far. As for the dessert - it was a huge serving with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream & a swirl of caramel on top. I thought it was a bit like eating a good apple pie, but my fam wasn't impressed at all (they all love bread pudding). One sis-in-law said it was way too firm and just seemed like the ingredients had been buzzed up and mashed together. BUT --- it was a good night, and we'll be back. I think we would opt for a week night, instead. Hopefully, it will be a bit less busy. And definitely, we want to try the patio. It looks really quaint with all the white twinkle lights. The parking situation is a bit tough for anyone with special needs. One sis got the one (I think) handicap spot near the door (the other small handful of spots were taken); the other sis had to park up a rather steep hill (she waited while we retrieved her car for her when we were done). There's a decent amount of street parking, but I don't know what that situation is like if you come after 5p/530p.
